Buttermilk is one of my favorite ingredients. I love its creaminess and punchy acidity, which work well in both savory and sweet applications. I’ve never used it to make pie, but I know that buttermilk pie is a popular Southern dessert that tastes similar to crème brûlée.

True Ventures co-founder Jon Callaghan doesn’t think we’ll be using smartphones the way we do now in five years — and maybe not at all in 10. For a venture capitalist whose firm has had some big winners over its two decades – from consumer brands like Fitbit, Ring, and Peloton, to enterprise software makers HashiCorp and Duo Security – that’s more than armchair theorizing; it’s a thesis on which True Ventures is actively betting. True hasn’t gotten this far by following the crowd. The Bay Area firm has largely operated under the radar despite managing roughly $6 billion across…

If Santa and his elves are the light that brings us goodwill and cheer, scalpers are the darkness ripping any happiness away – and I’m once again hoping the coming year will be the year they stop ruining the internet.I’m sure you’ve all had a bad experience wrought by scalpers – folks using an army of bots or simply sheer will (and maybe other tricks) to buy up something in high demand but short supply, only to resell it at a massive markup.In the world of tech, they’ve scalped PS5s, SSDs, and, more recently, RAM, but they’ll also ruin other…
